Pregnant Dawn and Sean Cain's huge family, aged 21 years to 19 months, have just enjoyed a very merry Christmas, with every mouthful of their turkey dinner, and every present stuffed under their tree, paid for by taxpayers.
To match their breathtaking haul from the public purse Sean would have to clinch a job paying a gross salary of £51,500 ($82,200). Britain's average salary is just £21,320 ($34,000).
And although he is able, he's definitely not willing.
He and wife Dawn admit their New Year's resolution is never to find work, because no job they'd get in Britain's recession-hit economy will come close to paying the same.
Sean hasn't lifted a finger since 2003 when he took time off to help Dawn handle a problem with the kids. He soon realised he was better off on benefits and has stayed home ever since.
The 20-a-day smoker, who has never worked since she became a mother at the age of 18, said, "People expect us to be scruffy and dirty because we're such a big family, but we're not.
"I look after my kids well and make sure we get by. And every Christmas I make sure they get everything they want."
You bet. When you get everything for free, why not pull out the stops? The guy hasn't worked a day in six years because - well, where's the incentive?
Perhaps the only surprising thing here is that the government hasn't pulled "Mummy's" smokes away from her. Though it's probably the only thing that keeps her calm around all of the children.
Small wonder that Britain is no longer "Great". How long, though, before Americans follow their lead? Or have we already begun?
